I'm translating my website into French and possibly German later. I'd like to hear your opinions on which address would suit the translation better: http://francais.example.com http://fr.example.com http://www.example.com/francais http://www.example.com/fr or if you have an alternative shout it out!
My personal preference would be subdomains as it really is a seperate site and your first example would seem the most logical.
